Although I am not Janty's greatest fan, Ludo has announced over at e-cigreview that he has been banned for life from ECF. A strange decision. Anyone care to comment? A mistake??
If true, that would be a sad turn of events. Ludo was one of the few suppliers -- Trog is another -- who actually contributed useful information in subject threads. Any supplier post that does no more than link to a sales page should be removed. But Ludo didn't seem guilty of that in my mind. He and I had a heck of an exchange on the "personal fogging machine" thread! I said it wouldn't work to call it something else; I was WRONG. The big push now is to call these "personal vaporizers."
From such disagreements and discussions comes education. I learned where Ludo was coming from. And I think he saw well ahead of me that bans were coming, that calling our devices e-cigs would prove a tragic mistake. If so, he was right.
It's the suppliers who never post here that I'd like to shun.
I hope there's something I don't know about a Ludo ban. If not, we've lost a valued contributor who actually took himself out long ago.
Banned for life? Nah nobody is ever banned for life. Worst these forums can do is ban your ip in which case you change your ip. Create a new user name along with your new ip and your back on the forum again.
I suspect this technique is used more than most people realize to get around the supplier restrictions and pose as regular members.
How many slightly OT posts do we see to (obviously) advertise a website?
For me it only serves to red flag certain suppliers.
That's it. Just don't know how Ludo could have missed it.
Trog!
How am I ever going to get a screwdriver if you're lounging around the forum?
Back to the cave, fire up those generators, make some sparks... get to work!
Ok that makes sense! I thought it had something to do with the owner of this forum
Trog, you got it all wrong.... again
Back to your cave!
Tx for the support, heartwarming to know we are still appreciated.
Stay tuned for JANTY announcements in the free suppliers forum!
